Kodiak landed IKEA as its driverless launch shipper partner, with a long-haul rollout targeted by the end of the year.
#AutonomousTrucking #Kodiak #PrePass Kodiak Robotics has designated IKEA as its launch partner for driverless long-haul trucking service, with a planned commercial debut before the end of 2025.
Kodiak has been delivering IKEA freight daily from Houston to a distribution point near Frisco, Texas, for the past four years, with a safety driver behind the wheel.
That operational history informed the decision to make IKEA the anchor partner for driverless deployment, said Daniel Goff, vice president of external affairs at Kodiak.
Kodiak’s timeline calls for the first driverless IKEA run before year-end, with broader scaling through 2027.
